Islam Times - Palestinian Man Confronts Israeli Army in al-Khalil

Islam Times - Local media in occupied Palestine reported an armed confrontation between a Palestinian man and Israeli occupation forces in the Old City of al-Khalil on Saturday.

Al Mayadeen's correspondent in occupied Palestine reported an armed confrontation between a Palestinian Resistance fighter and Israeli occupation forces in the old town of al-Khalil, following reports of a Resistance operation in the area.

According to Israeli media sources, reports of gunfire in the city of al-Khalil surfaced following warnings of an infiltration into one of the settlements in the area.

Initially, the occupation forces instructed the Israeli settlers to remain indoors. Later, it was reported that the Palestinian Resistance fighter had been martyred in a direct confrontation.

This comes after al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades - Al-Khalil confirmed, on March 14, that its Resistance fighters targeted the Israeli "Gush Etzion" settlement north of al-Khalil with machine guns, before withdrawing safely.

Al Mayadeen's sources reported at the time that Palestinian Resistance fighters engaged Israeli occupation forces with a powerful homemade explosive device and opened fire on the raiding forces in the old town of Nablus in the occupied West Bank.
